    Est: $6,000 - $8,000

    Gertrude Barrer (1921-1992). Oil on canvas Indian Space painting. Signed and dated 1946 along the lower right. This artist was a member of the Indian Space movement which included the artists Steve Wheeler, Howard Daum, Robert Barrell, Will Barnet, Peter Busa, Gertrude Barrer, Ruth Lewin, and Oscar Collier.
